And outside the city of Yunzhou, which screamed in the light of countless fires.

Surrounded by many tooth soldiers with only their mouths and noses exposed, and wearing white flowers and brocade robes. Wearing Ni Jun's big armor and wearing a winged helmet, Han Jian, the contemporary Wei Bojie envoy and the king of Changli County, who was a little clear and delicate in his early years, was also on the temporary earthen platform, watching the movement in the city.

As the protagonist of the folk song "Chang'an Heavenly Son, Wei Boya Soldiers", although he was successively ascended to the throne or killed in the outer section of the envoys, and killed one stubble after another to cut leeks, it did not affect the Wei Boya soldiers as predecessors, and their prestige among the tooth soldiers in the world.

And Wei Bo Town, which is supposed to be in Weizhou, and the Tianping Army, which is loyal to Yunzhou, which is loyal to the imperial court, can be regarded as old rivals and generations of enemies who have loved and killed each other for many years adjacent to the Yellow River.

And earlier, there were still four towns in Heshuo in the world, and when the Tianping Army was still part of the most powerful Ziqing Town, Yunzhou was also where the strong soldiers came out in large numbers, and the Wei Bo army on the other side had long been in various "dealings".

Moreover, since the last Jiedu, who was in the twelve prefectures of Ziqing and claimed to have 100,000 troops, Li Shidao was killed in the civil strife, and all the imperial courts under his rule were divided into the three towns of Pinglu, Tianping, and Yanhai, the Tianping Army became the forefront of suppressing and monitoring Weibo Town nearby.

Therefore, Tianping Army, as one of the few strong towns in Henan and even the Central Plains, is also a hub for water and land transportation; For a long time, it was the ministers appointed by the imperial court, and even the exiled or incumbent prime ministers, who took over the duties of their commanders.

Therefore, once there is a change in the seven states of Weibo Town, which is adjacent to the river, the Tianping Army is the force that the imperial court can be the first to mobilize and mobilize in Henan to carry out corresponding counterattacks and containment; And if Weibo Town wants to go south to seek the land of Henan, it also can't bypass the Tianping Army that controls the coastal states.

Until recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters on the land of Henan have continued and thieves have swarmed, and the Jiedu envoy from Wenren has not been enough to suppress the situation, and even once made a bad news that the Jiedu was attacked and killed by the thieves. That's why loyal and reliable warriors have been appointed one after another.

In contrast, as a barrier between the eastern capital and the province of Dugi, as well as a second-line military town that mainly prepared for thieves and quelled rebellion, the Yicheng army envoys who had long been in possession of the land of Zheng Slip were much weaker. Even in the second or third year of Qianfu, he was defeated many times by those wandering grass thieves.

This time, if it weren't for the fact that the strength of the Tianping Army was excessively damaged in the Battle of Xu Si, Wei Bo's army would definitely not be able to easily cross the river and cross the border and capture most of the Yicheng Army. Therefore, when Wei Bojun, who won lightly, could draw his hand, it would inevitably be the turn of the Tianping Army, an old opponent who had been deeply troubled for generations.

Now known as one of the best generals in the country, Cao Quanyang's father and son, who can fight well and have brilliant achievements, have all disappeared in the land of Xu Si with the main force of the Tianping Army, and the Tianping Army is both extremely empty and uneven.

In contrast, although there were disasters and civil unrest in Weibo Town, it had not been able to form any climate, so it was extinguished and suppressed by the first strike, and it has been able to gather strength and sit and watch the situation.

And just when the grass thieves were entrenched in the two capitals, and the court was weak and the news was cut off, this was Wei Bojun's destruction of this old enemy, saying that according to Henan's God-given opportunity. Once the Tianping Army is down, the Pinglu Army, which is full of internal troubles, or Yanhai Town, which is ravaged by the thief army, will not be enough to be the enemy and can do the strategy of Longwangshu.

Of course, this time, in order to avoid the crisis of multi-front operations and the possible containment of the rear, Han Jian still sent an envoy to Chang'an despite public opinion, and conditionally allowed the relatively rich but originally somewhat unstable territory of Zhengzhou to those Great Qi courts entrenched in most of Henan;

In exchange for the little room to transfer troops from the town to collect food, go all out to seize the land of the balance army that has suffered a great loss of strength and is guarded against emptiness. On the other hand, they sent envoys to Yunzhou and Tianping respectively to promise to make favorable conditions, pretending to show weakness and divide and paralyze their will to fight a decisive battle.

Now, the conspiracy planned by his subordinates to attack the east and the west and hide from the world has finally achieved a certain degree of success.

The Tianping army, which was hastily assembled and claimed to be 30,000, had just arrived at Dingtao City on the bank of the Wuzhang River downstream of Onozawa, and before they had time to set up camp and enter the city for repair, they faced Wei Bo's vanguard and were able to advance with a light victory; Then he kicked the formation for Wei Bo and rode in all directions, and he broke down on the spot.

Many of the Tianping generals led by Du Yu Hou Lu Guangqi and Du Tuan Lian Zhao Hong were not in the battle, and the nominal commander Cao Cunshi, who was only eleven years old, was also in the flight of his own soldiers, and was sacrificed by Sergeant Wei Bo.

Therefore, Han Jian simply put down most of the foot soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the capture, and with thousands of horsemen, including the tooth soldiers, they galloped under Yuncheng with a staff with open fire overnight, and burned and looted them as a means of coercion and deterrence.

Thinking of this, Han Jian couldn't help but glance at Zhu Xuan, the vanguard officer of the Tianping Army, who was standing in the crowd on the left, and after being captured, he personally persuaded him to surrender; And this resolute old department of Tianping is also the first person who deceived the Tianping Army in this battle of Dingtao.

"What a certain family admires the most is that kind of person who knows the current affairs and knows how to advance and retreat. But I don't know if Zhu Xianfeng wants any reward after Yunzhou changes hands this time. ”

Han Jian said to him with a slight bow.

"Thanks to the king, the villain does not dare to ask for any more reward; Only to be able to be brave with a small horseman, continue to lead the crowd to drive under the king's command. ”

Zhu Xuan, who was born with extra strength and strength and seemed to stand out from the crowd, bowed down with a humble face.

"This is not enough, how can I, Wei Bojun, be a person with uneven rewards. The states of Tianping Town, which is over this matter, can make Er choose a place to eat. ”

Han Jian turned the whip handle slightly dissatisfied.

"How about I, Changli Han, allow another daughter to be your wife."

"The king is really a grand gift, and his humble body is not enough to repay him."

Zhu Xuan couldn't help but bow down with gratitude when he heard this.

However, under his rough face, there is still a little understanding and consciousness in his heart; Obviously, compared to the remnants of the old division of the Tianping Army, he has become the "horse bone" of the Qianjinsuo City in Weibo Town.

"From now on, I am afraid that there will be no Han (Yue) Changli in the world, and only the king of Changli will be recited in the world."

And beside him, an elegant scribe wearing a flat scarf on his head suddenly flattered.

"How dare you talk to Mr. Chang Li, don't say anything more about this matter."

Han Jian was also quite useful in his heart, but he reprimanded quietly.

His father Han Yunzhong's real name is Han Junxiong, and he is only a small branch of the Changli Han family; In the grandfather Han Changshi; In the past, the former Wei Bojiedu envoy He Hongjing, and the Zhaoyi Army, who was in turmoil, all knew the soldiers and horses Liu Zhi, and made a term of Beizhou Assassin History, which also created the origin of the Han family's generals.

But when Han Yunzhong, who was the general, rose up from time to time and attacked He Quanhao, the son of He Hongjing, the son of the mean and unkind predecessor Wei Bojiedu, and after seizing the festival, even the clan of the Changli Han clan, which has always been based on the imperial examination, will take him as the head of the horse;

Not only did he send a large number of disciples and disciples to come to offer and enrich the shogunate, but he also rebuilt the pedigree and traced it back to the ancestors of three generations, and listed it as one of the main branches and large houses that were promoted at the same time. Therefore, today's Han clansmen, under his promotion and appointment, have spread almost all aspects of the seven states and various departments of Weibo.

While he was talking, there was a sudden movement in the dimly lit gatehouse opposite, and then in some obvious rolling sound, the city gate was also opened from the inside out. Others walked out of the gates, shaking torches in their hands, shouting loudly.

"The general trend has been decided. The king is really a god. ”

Another general on the side, Ma Jun, knew that the soldiers and horses made Han Chengxun couldn't help but exclaim.

"It should be a great contribution to Jianxian."

Han Jian couldn't help but nod reservedly. Then I saw Zhu Xuan immediately bowing down and asking for help:

"King Fangmeng's great kindness is not enough to repay, so let the humble relatives lead a group of people to take the lead...

"Don't bother,"

Then his words were interrupted, but it was another Wei Bo general who was not in danger - Li Guangxun, the commander of Ya Qiandu.

"First of all, when it comes to entering the city, please also ask the king to use the majesty of my yamen first."

"Then please ask Zhu Xianfeng to repair the army well, and it will be of great use in the future."

Han Jian just paused slightly before deciding.

As Zhu Xuan's face calmly bowed and retreated, he saw a fine horse wearing thin scales and iron armor all over his body, and a bear-patterned cloak fluttering, galloping out of the city and turning into an elongated arrow shape, and in a blink of an eye, he followed the guidance of the torch and sank into the empty doorway.

Followed by another dismounted armored infantry team, holding a red lacquered long plate with a tiger pocket pattern, staggered front and back holding large wooden spears and long knives; Forming the shape of a crane's wing, he ran in small steps over the uneven ground and obstacles, and quickly approached the doorway.

After a while, the city was already full of killings, and the gatehouse was lit up with more messy fires and running figures. However, it didn't take long for Han Jian to suddenly turn around and say to another sturdy-looking general.

"Besides, you will lead the hall to the back five...

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a dull loud bang suddenly from the doorway, and a fleeting scream; Then the influx of licensed armoured infantry teams also paused as if they had received some obstacle, and the crowd shouted in surprise before and after the halfway point.

At this time, many figures leaned out of the city, and began to compete with each other to open their bows and arrows, and one after another poured boiling water and the ashes of the altar into the foot of the city. In an instant, Han Jian's face became iron blue and stiff.

And not long ago, the Yuncheng Festival was enough to accommodate hundreds of people in the main hall for banquets and deliberations.

Changshi Cui Yong and the others who rushed here in a hurry only saw a dozen generals and subordinate officials gathered together, looking dazed and confused, but they were less than half of the original promotion. He couldn't help but cry out angrily with some gaffes:

"What about the others, where have they died? Seeing that they are at stake, do they all flee separately? ”

Then Cui Yong waved his hand again.

"That's it, why don't you come with me to collect all the letter seals and papers, and go out of the city when it is dawn."

"What are you doing when you go out of the city, aren't there all the thieves outside? Is it difficult to lead the troops to break through overnight. ”

A subordinate officer involuntarily responded.

"Breaking through a bird, of course, is to go out of the city to seek a way to survive."

Cui Yong also had cronies around him and interjected.

"Could it be that we are really going to bring down the Wei Bo thief,"

Another subordinate said incredulously. And the other military schools also showed uneasy and panicked expressions.

"Otherwise, what else can we do, the people and horses who left the teacher and the little ones are gone, what else can we expect."

The cronie was a little angry.

"If the city is opened earlier, it can also build and protect some soldiers and civilians, if the Wei Bo people break the city, wouldn't it be the jade and the stone will be burned."

"In this way, Cui Changshi is really compassionate."

An abrupt voice rang out outside.

"The one who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead dares to speak like this in the festival."

The cronies suddenly scolded angrily

Then he fell back in a panic, and said dumbfounded:

"Small. Small.. Yanai. Aren't you among the thieves? ”

Then I heard the clatter of leather bags and armor pieces colliding, and the tooth soldiers who were originally protecting the back house walked into the main hall with a familiar figure in front of them. Cui Yong's face also turned extremely pale.
